SRINAGAR:
All Parties Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman, Syed Ali Geelani condemning the
judicial onslaught against the pro-freedom leaders and their family members
said that on May 9, 2019 the bail applications of Syed Shakeel Ahmad and Syed
Shahid sons of Syed Salahuddin who have been falsely accused of hawala without
any proof or evidence were listed, but the court didn’t even bother to listen
the argument and simply gave a new date after 70 days i.e July 18, 2019. This
is how judiciary is being used just keep innocents behind bars and get
political mileage out of it.

Citing
the example of Indian judiciary He said that the rejection of the bail by
Indian Supreme court, which was granted by Delhi High Court in favour of
Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Ahmad Watali, which was not only surprising but
puts a big question mark on the free and fair legal system of World’s so-called
largest democracy. Although in past also our people have faced the biased
judicial system to satisfy their collective conscious, but recent media
outburst of four senior Supreme Court judges, speaks volumes of favoritism and
political influence in Indian judiciary.

Hurriyat
chairman said that Indian rulers have themselves made a joke of their so-called
democracy and court decisions are influenced by the region and faith of the
accused amounting to gross judicial activism.

Pro-freedom
leader said that the sad state of affairs of Indian judicial system against
Kashmiries has never been any surprise though, but off late the so-called
justice providing system has been turned redundant when it come to giving
justice to Kashmiries. Be it judicial-political murder of Mohammad Maqbool Bhat
or murder of Mohammad Afzal Guru who was hanged and I quote Supreme Court of
India saying that it is to satisfy the collective conscious of Indians. Now to
satisfy that ever thirsty collective conscious of Indian masses, innocent
Kashmiries are being kept behind bars on fictitious and fabricated cases and
even denied bails. Cases against Kashmiri prisoners listed for arguments are
cancelled, not even fair judicial processes and procedures are being followed
by the very organs of judiciary.

He
appealed the international community, prisoner’s rights forums and human rights
bodies, to compel Indian authorities to, at least honour and obey their own
laws and stop the revengeful attitude towards the political prisoners.
